The rationale of this elementary work was to develop starch based bio-coat for food items using permutation combination of starch of different sources (corn, potato, tapioca) and various plasticizers (glycerine, rice bran oil, sesame oil, castrol oil, soya bean oil and olive oil). An eco-friendly alternative to conventional petro-plastic polymer with a futuristic application as edible food wraps was intended as the outcome. |
